Hello,
The current FreeBSD 9.3 is now available for dedicated servers and can be installed via the EUserv customer panel. FreeBSD 9.3 is provided with updates for a total of two years.
As in the previous version, further improvements have been implemented for ZFS. Thus, for example, snapshots can be managed more efficiently by using "bookmarks". In addition, ext4 file systems can now be accessed by reading.
On the hardware side, particular improvements in the network drivers for Intel and Realtek can be mentioned. Among the available software updates, BIND (9.9.5), OpenSSH (6.6p1) and OpenSSL (0.9.8za) are included. In addition, the Xen integration was continued.
The random generators from Intel and VIA are no longer part of the release. For now, the use of "Yarrow" or "Fortuna" is recommended.
More features:
- ZFS supports the "bookmark" feature
- Read-Only-Support for ext4
- Xen Hardware-Assisted Virtualization-available as a module
- Driver updates for Intel and Realtek NICs
kind regards,
Katrin
